Trees

With trees, unlike crops, you make a one-time purchase and then keep the tree. After that, you harvest free. The harvest does, however, take some helper time. Each harvest pays silver and experience. The initial planting and watering time can sometimes be long. If you have a Temple of Watering Time, it will not help with most harvests, but it will help with the first watering.

In general, trees provide less income than crops. The main exception is premium trees, which must be purchased with gold. Premium trees provide excellent income. The more expensive they are, the more quickly you can earn silver. Do not expect much experience from any trees, even premium trees.

Also note that two trees, Banana and Coconut, provide generous income, better even than premium Almond Trees. Problems with Banana and Coconut trees include planting times, first watering times, and regeneration times. Still, once established, the income generated in the hour harvest time is hard to beat.

Take harvest time into account when choosing trees. Long harvest times keep your helpers busy longer, whereas shorter harvest times require more tapping on your part. Also, trees with short harvest times will not maximize profits when you are offline.
